BLOOD POISON.

Three years ago / contracted blood
poison. 1applied to physician at once
and his treatment came near killing me.
| employed an old physician and then
went to Ky. then went 10 Hot Springs
and remained two months, but nothing
seemed to cure me permanently, although
temporary relief was given me. My con
dition grew desperate and l applied to a
noted quack. but | did not improve l
then used preparation which was pres
scribed gratis. but it contained too
much alcohol and aggravated my suffer
ings. | then placed myself under the
treatment of noted Nashville physician
and for a time was benefited, but BY fall
| returned home ruined man physically
and financially. with but little prospects
of ever getting well. My money being
exhausted, did not know what TO do.
In May, 1885, my mother persuaded me
to get bottle of B. B. B. (made in At
lanta) and did so to crafty her, but to
my utter astonishment had not finished
the first bottle before every ulcer had
| been healed.
To the present tune | have used five
bottles and have received more benefit
than from all the rest combined; and | am
satisfied that B. B. is the most won>
derful blood purifier ever before known,
and urge all afflicted young men 20 try
one single bottle and be convinced. l
can truly say think it the best medicine
in the world q T HALLERToN.

For many years | have been afflicted
with rheumatism, combined with some
kidney troubles. Indigestion finally added
TO my misery and | soon became feeble
and very nervous. and my whole system
was Frustrated. Several physicians were
employed and numerous patent medicines
resorted to without benefit: After seeing
ST. many testimonials extol|ing the won~
derful merit of B B b. commenced its
use and the effect WAS like magic. Rheu~
matte pains ceased, my kidneys were re
lieved and nv constitution improved At
once, and cheerfully recommend 1t to
others who may be similarly afflicted.

Muld0On's Picnic.

The Golden Bell Company closes
its entertainment in Mexico to-right
with Muldoon's Picnic. A crowded
house should be in attendance to en-
Joy this, one of the company's most
laughable selections. A fair audi
ence last night laughed themselves
hoarse, during n of the most en-
ioyable entertainments ever given in
the Opera House. Miss Whitney
was received with applause and is a
great favorite. She was encored till
she was out of breath but always
came up smiling. Miss Mabel Pearl
came in for her share of appreciation
and can take more different charac-
tiers with success than most any lady
10 the profession. Mr.. Cassidy is not
only a fine singer but a dandy on the
dance. His performances were loud
ly applauded. Prof. John Emery is
a fine performer On the piano, but
while in Mexico has to use an organ
instead, which should be remedied by
the Manager of the Opera House
John Cassidy and Frank Calburt are
both artists in their specialties and
entertain delightfully."- while before
the audience. In Muldoon's Picnic
tonight each member of the Compa.
ny will have a fine chance to show
their best work.

A WONDERFUL COUNTY.
A Letter From an Old Audrain Boy.

To the Editor Of the Ledger.
FIT. SMITH, ARK, Jan. %, 1887.
You wished to know how I like this
place. I am in the real estate bust
ness here and have travelled over the
entire city and the longer l stay here
the better I like the place. The
climate is the best 1 vas ever in. The
thurmometer ranges from POO to
40o above zero. We had almost a
building boom last year, the number
of houses erected being estimated at
from 500 to 1000. Those who ought
to know assert that the number will
be threefold greater this year than
last. And Notwithstanding the large
amount of houses that has been and
is being daily erected, We csn't sup
ply the great demand for houses, but
we can furnish lots a prices which are
IN reach of all. Building material is
as cheap here as it can be bought
anywhere. The inducements that
are offered here can't be beat in the
world. We have as fine coal fields as
can be found in the United States.
Coal is brought to market here like
wood is in Mexico, nearly every
farmer has his own coal bank, the
coal being near the surface. He a
dig up a load Of coal and bring it to
market with more ease than a man
can chop a load of wood in Missouri
and take it to market. There has
been valuable iron ore discovered
near this place which will be a great
advantage to the town for manufac-
turing establishments. We have now
two railroads and there is two more
to be built in the spring. 1 wish l
could give you the advantages this
place has Cor rich and poor alike, but
a man must see the city and country
around before he will know the great
advantages hat are offered here.
Any information that I can give you
or any of your readers about this
country I will gladly give if they
will write to me. Please send me
the LEDGER as / want to hear the
news from my old home.
Your friend, L. W. VrvIoN.

Signs of War in Europe.


The preparations for var in Eu-
rope, if reports are correct, are being
pushed with more vigor than ever,
while apparently the provocation
from which the war was expected to
arise has substantially disappeared,
Every one of the powers insists
that it has nc intention of breaking
the peace. Russia has moderated
her attitude on the Bulgarian ques-
ton. France has expressed a pur-
pose not to offend any one, and the
declared determination of Bismarck
to preserve quiet and the integrity of
Germany at the same time is almost
phenomenal in its intensity. The
question then is, Where is the
casus 5eM and who is to strike the
first blow?
There is evidently much going on
beneath the surface. Otherwise Ger
mans in England would scarcely be
notified to be in readiness to return
home on twenty-four hours notice
and report for military duty. Neither
would orders be issued in Vienna to
the military hospitals to quadruple
their beds. 1t is reported that the
Austrian Government has made large
contracts for provisions to be deliver.
ed in March, and has completed ar
engagements with the railroads for
transportation of troops. Such &C.
tons as these speak louder than
words.
